The depths of the Depression would seem an unpromising time to revive the 1929 song “Happy Days Are Here Again”. But after it was played at the 1932 Democratic convention, it caught on as a song of hope for better things to come. And after years of work and struggle, prosperity returned.
Tomorrow this song and the rest of our #PublicDomainDayCountdown works join the public domain. And while tough times may still threaten, with work, struggle, and hope we too may bring happy days here again.

Everybody's Libraries 
@everybodyslibraries.com That wraps my #PublicDomainDayCountdown to 2025. My thanks to all who followed, and gave comments, suggestions, likes, and boosts. And big thanks to the Penn Libraries, where I work (and which has many of the works I wrote about).
There's much more joining the #PublicDomain than I got to. I'd love to hear what you're looking forward to. Some links for more works:

@JMarkOckerbloom @everybodyslibraries.com Thank you so much for doing this.
If it's easy, it would be great if you could auto-repost each of these one month later, i.e. on the corresponding day of January, to remind us what we can NOW use.
